Pokémon, Ash is going to become a perfect man from now on.

Whatever missing person notice you post, you have to copy it directly!

"Let's go back and wait for news. In the meantime, you can prepare for your departure and also tell your younger siblings what's going on."

Reminded by Ash, Brock also rushed back to Pewter City Gym.

To his surprise, he didn't have to wait long before Officer Jenny, along with two assistants, brought his father, Wu Neng, back!

To prevent him from escaping, they even sent a Growlithe to hang (or bite) on his leg.

"Dad?" Xiao Gang was taken aback. "How come you were arrested so quickly... no, you came home?"

“We received a tip from a concerned citizen who wished to remain anonymous, saying that this person was in Nibi City, so we dispatched the police and arrested him.” Officer Jenny explained to Xiao Gang, then began to sternly reprimand Wu Neng, “Your family's farce should end here! As a man, you don't even care about your family, making your child take care of another group of younger children. Has your sense of responsibility been eaten by Growlithe?!”

"Yes... I really know I was wrong! Xiaogang, and the children... I'm so sorry!"

After being scolded by Officer Jenny, and seeing the complicated looks in Xiao Gang's and the other children's eyes, Wu Neng finally realized his mistake and choked up, saying that he must repent and fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

Seeing that his father was so understanding, Xiao Gang handed over the work to him and took out his own notebook to explain to Wu Neng the series of things he needed to do every day.

"Jiro...Saburō wants...Shiko also needs...Goro must..."

"Stop...stop it now! Xiaogang, please stop reading!"

"In short, I'm leaving the house to you. Don't even think about running away again, Dad!"

Brock solemnly instructed his father, then looked sincerely at Ash and said, "Ash, you are an amazing trainer. Can I travel with you?"

"I couldn't ask for more!" Xiao Zhi naturally agreed.

In this way, a new... uh, I should say a former companion is obtained!

"But it's strange, who exactly helped report it?" Xiao Gang was still a bit confused before leaving.

"Didn't Officer Jenny say she's a kind-hearted citizen?" Ash smiled mysteriously.

Without anyone seeing, a transparent 3D dragon is quietly returning to him...

Chapter Twenty: Tsukimiyama, the DNA Moved~

As the undisputed number one support character in the entire Pokémon anime series, Gon's addition obviously brought considerable convenience to Ash.

With him around, Ash doesn't need to deliberately balance the weight of breeding and training. As the saying goes, everyone has their own expertise. In terms of breeding, even if Uncle Gang is self-taught, he is still better than Ash.

Moreover, with years of experience caring for his younger siblings, Uncle Gang is also an all-rounder in domestic affairs. He is not only good at laundry and cooking, but also shrewd and thrifty, making him a model of a versatile male servant.

If he hadn't been constantly flirting with mature older women and even gotten Nanami to give Ash a disapproving eye roll on the phone, Go's character would have been even more perfect.

"This is just a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for taking care of Ash on your journey ahead... Also, please continue to work hard as a breeder."

When Ash was reporting his results to the research institute, Nanami offered to mail him a package of her breeding tips and medical books as a gift for Brock.

"Don't worry, Miss Nanami! With your support, I will definitely..."

Du~du~

"Oops, it hung up~" Ash shrugged helplessly.

It seems that the question of why Nanami chose such a lecherous travel companion can only be answered when there is another opportunity.

However, Xiaozhi felt that the other party's concerns were completely unnecessary.

Instead of worrying about following in Gang's footsteps, Nanami should be more concerned about her brother, who's been confirmed to be cheating on her with multiple women at the same time.

...

The two set off together, with Ash planning to follow the original route to Cerulean City, so they would pass through Mt. Tsukimi along the way.

Ash is very interested in this place and plans to explore it thoroughly.

"Moon View is a mountain range famous for the meteorite impact. Not only does it produce Moon Stones, but it's also said that wild Clefairy can be found here." Brock looked at the map in his hand. "Ash, did you come here for Clefairy or for the Moon Stones?"

"Neither," Ash shook his head. "It's just that the Pokémon I want to catch happens to be here."

"That's it..."

“However, I think you could catch a Clefairy,” Ash suggested. “Fairy-type Clefairy and its evolved form Clefairy can master a variety of moves, making them quite adept at taking care of Pokémon. Although there’s no precedent for Clefairy acting as a nurse in any region yet, you might as well give it a try.”

"If that's the case, then I'll have to look for it." Hearing Xiaozhi say that, Xiaogang also became interested.

To become an excellent breeder, the requirements for your pets are more specific than those for trainers. Ash might be able to catch any pet he feels like, but Brock must prioritize those that have a natural advantage in breeding.

Moreover, Picosi itself is also very strong.

Urgent! Life Orb, four attacks... After being hit by Moonblast from Clefairy with the Magic Defense ability, you know that the Pink Demon is definitely not just a name without substance!

So Ash couldn't help but wonder, even Alolan's Flower Therapy has been chosen as the regional nurse, but Clefairy has never been selected. Maybe it's because she's too violent...

The two chatted as they made their way along the rugged mountain path. Ash left Charmander outside, and the little guy waved its tiny claws energetically the whole time.

Ash promised to send Charmander to battle in the catching battle during this expedition to Mt. Moon, so Charmander has been in a state of high excitement and can't wait...

"Help!"

Just then, they suddenly heard a cry for help.

"Let's go over and take a look."

The two rushed over immediately and found a person in a white coat lying face down on the ground with his head in his hands. Many supersonic bats were flying around his head, eager to attack him.

"Charmander, Spark Shot!" "Geosphere, you go help too!"

Ash immediately had Charmander breathe fire to disperse the swarm of bats, while Brock also directed Geodude to create a pile of rubble... and incidentally threw a Poké Ball to catch a Zubat.

"Are you alright?" Xiao Gang asked as the commotion subsided... but he quickly regretted it.

"Wow, you guys are amazing! Thank you! I'm Rick, a researcher of love and courage from the Pewter City Science Museum! Thank you for saving me. I see the ideal person and Pokémon in you..."

"Uh...did this guy get his brain damaged by Zubat?" Startled, Brock quickly backed away, then turned to Ash in confusion, pointing to his own head...

"Don't ask me, he's from Pewter City." Ash also took a step back; this researcher's loud manner was... a bit annoying.

Instead of focusing on him, Ash and his friends should investigate why Zubat operates during the day.

With this question in mind, the two entered the cave together, only to find that someone had installed many large light bulbs on the walls, making the cave as bright as day!

"That's outrageous!" Xiao Gang frowned angrily. "This is practically destroying the ecosystem of Mount Tsukimi!"

"Yeah, all the Pokémon here have gone crazy." Li Ke, now back to normal, caught up, saying with a guilty expression, "Zubat is flying around wildly during the day, Paras keeps planting mushrooms, and Sandshrew is completely dehydrated. I have no idea what to do..."

"I think we can destroy the light bulb first. Charmander, breathe fire!"

"Li!" The little fire dragon opened its mouth and spewed out even fiercer flames, instantly burning out all the light bulbs in the cave.

"Let's go, let's get to the root of the problem!" Ash continued deeper into the cave, while directing Charmander to destroy all the light bulbs along the way.

He also secretly released the power of Viridian to give the affected Pokémon a simple treatment.

However, as they went deeper, they encountered more and more Pokémon that were affected, and even Ash was getting tired from constantly releasing the power of Viridian, which made his face look increasingly grim.

He knew, of course, that the whole thing started because of those three guys… He had to admit, they really went too far this time!

"Clefairy... Clefairy~" After turning through another tunnel, Ash and his friends found a Clefairy lying on the ground, looking very weak.

"It's Pipi, are you alright?" Upon seeing this, Xiaogang immediately stepped forward and hugged Pipi in his arms.

“Pipi…” Pipi seemed to know that these people were there to help it, and weakly pointed them in a direction.

Following Pipi's directions, the group continued forward and gradually began to hear noisy digging sounds until they finally saw two people and a cat digging enthusiastically at the end of the tunnel!

"Are you the ones destroying Clefairy's and the other Pokémon's home?" Li Ke angrily questioned. "Who exactly are you people?!"

Upon hearing this question, the trio who were digging suddenly perked up as if they had been injected with adrenaline.

"Since you've asked so sincerely,"

"We'll mercifully tell you!"

"To prevent the world from being destroyed,"

"To safeguard world peace."

"To carry on love and true evil,"

"A cute and charming villain."

"Aunt Liu!"

"Gay guy!"

"We are Team Rocket traveling across the galaxy!"

"White hole, the white one is waiting for us tomorrow!"

"That's it, meow~"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Ash... uh, what's wrong with you?" Brock was still righteously questioning him, but then he caught a glimpse of Ash out of the corner of his eye and found him staring blankly with a thumbs up...

"It's nothing, it's just that the DNA suddenly moved a little~"

Chapter Twenty-One: Team Rocket, and... Team Rocket!

Finally, he met the true protagonist in this world and even heard the entire opening monologue. Although Ash was in a very bad mood, he still had to say something from the bottom of his heart…

Ye Qing is back.
